On November 18th, Jasmine Benjamin, 17, was found dead in a study room in her Valdosta State University dorm. She was a graduate of Central Gwinnett High School and had moved onto the college campus to study to become a nurse, like her mother.

Benjamin’s parents said they were initially told that she died of natural causes, but within 24 hours, everything changed when police found evidence that turned the case into a murder investigation.

The family hired a private investigator to seek information about their daughter’s death because they already had their suspicions about who could be possibly by responsible and facebook came into play yet again.

On Dec. 3, two days after what would’ve been Jasmine Benjamin’s 18th birthday, Darien Joseph Meheux, an ex-boyfriend of Jasmine’s, changed his Facebook profile picture to a shot of the couple in formal, prom-style attire.

Now here we are a little over a month later, and Meheux has been arrested by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) as the prime suspect in Benjamin’s murder.

First up are pose-able eight-inch action figures with tailored clothing, weaponry, and accessories in the likeness of characters played by Foxx, Kerry Washington, Samuel L. Jackson, Leonardo DiCaprio, James Remar and Christoph Waltz.

A press release announcing the deal stated that the line was similar to the retro toy lines that helped define the licensed action-figure market in the 1970s and that the collection will include a full apparel and accessories line. At the time of the announcement, NECA president Joel Weinshanker said the company was “very excited to bring the stellar cast of Django to life and honored to be working with another Tarantino masterpiece.” (source)
